HP MSA 30 User Manual page 34

These disk drives mount in the slots (bays) in the front of the system. The bays are
numbered consecutively from left to right, starting with bay 1, and drives are
commonly referred to by their bay number. This bay number is usually different from
the SCSI ID number of the drive. (To determine the SCSI ID of a drive, refer to
Appendix D).
When a disk drive fails, both the amber Drive Failure LED and the amber System
Fault LED are illuminated.
CAUTION: Removing more than one drive or blank at a time while the system is
operating can cause the system to overheat. To prevent overheating, install a disk
drive or a drive blank into an empty bay as soon as possible after removing the drive.
Removing a Drive Blank
Squeeze the release latches toward each other and hold them in while pulling the
blank out of the system.
Removing a Disk Drive
1. Press the purple ejector button.
2. Pivot the release lever to the fully open position.
3. Pull the drive out by about 3 cm (1 in.) so that it is disconnected from the
backplane connector.
4. When the disk is no longer spinning, remove the drive from the system.
Installing a Drive Blank
Insert the drive blank into the system and push it in.

CAUTION: A drive with a rapidly spinning disk can be difficult to hold securely.
To decrease the chance of dropping the drive, do not remove it completely from
the system until the disk has stopped rotating. This usually takes a few seconds.
